There is a common misconception that older adults are alike. This stereotype couldn’t be further from the truth.
A recent Gallup poll found that 7% of American adults identify as LGBTQ, the highest number of LGBTQ residents in the US since Gallup began. Other studies show that 22% of people 65 and older reported having a disability, and yet another study found that by 2030, the population of older racial/ethnic minority populations will increase by 89%, compared to 39% increase of white older adults (ACL/AoA, 2018).
This workshop will review in depth intersecting minority identities among older adults (focusing primarily on race, disability, social class, and LGTBQ+ identities) and will encourage participants to explore their own biases and assumptions. A model will be shared for deepening interpersonal cultural humility and vignettes will be used to apply knowledge.

Example Curriculum
I'm so glad you're here!
I'm Dr. Regina Koepp. I'm a Stanford-trained, board certified clinical psychologist, and founder of the Center for Mental Health & Aging. For close to 20 years, I’ve worked with older adults and their families in some of the largest healthcare systems in the nation, like Stanford, Emory, and the Veterans Health Administration.
I’ve experienced first hand the difficulty of helping older adults and caregivers find mental health providers trained to help them. In fact, 67% of older adults with mental health concerns DO NOT get the mental health care they need, resulting in worse medical problems, higher health care costs, family strain, and needless suffering.
This has inspired my mission of ensuring that you, and all mental health and senior care professionals, have the tools you need to treat the mental health needs of older adults in your care.
It's only with your help that we can meet the mental health needs of older adults and caregivers. So, thank you for being here and doing your part!
